Like so many brewers, Jeremy Warren began home brewing in his garage with a vision of what great craft beer can be. He recalls finishing a glass of Pliny the Elder with his father. “Do you know what makes these beers so good?” his dad asked. “Finish your beer and pick up the glass, the glass still smells full.” This ignited Warren’s passion for the aromatics of hops. Over the years, Warren has gained a reputation for amazing hoppy beers and has earned many awards along the way, such as two golds in the U.S. Open Beer Championships, two golds in the San Diego International Beer Competition and a silver at GABF. The founder and former Brewmaster of Knee Deep Brewing Company has moved on to another project, Revision Brewing Company. Warren will continue to brew award-winning IPAs, while using his brewing talent to expand his lineup to include barrel aged and sour beers.

Nick Sadek’s claim to fame might have been selling Eddie Murphy’s home in Los Lagos in 2007, but his strong work ethic and wealth of knowledge made him successful in the luxury home real estate industry long before then.

Obtaining his license in 1986, Sadek began his career working at Great Western Real Estate and then Lyon & Associates in Carmichael. In 2000, he established NRS Luxury Estates. His dedication to his work has awarded him several achievements including the title of “The Number One Closer in Luxury Home Sales in Placer County” from 2010 to 2014. Client satisfaction is one of the many reasons for his success.

An internationally acclaimed expert in cosmetic dermatology, Dr. Suzanne Kilmer, lives right here in Sacramento. Dr. Kilmer founded the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California, one of the world’s largest cosmetic and laser dermatology facilities. “With over 35 lasers and devices on-site, we can customize our treatments to each individual patient,” she explains. “Cosmetic dermatology requires an artistic eye. Whether we are tightening skin, filling lips or treating volume loss, natural appearing results are extremely technique dependent; an eye for symmetry and beauty is a must!” Noting that unnatural, frozen features often result from too much of a good thing, she promotes a “less is more” philosophy, and patients attest to looking like themselves, only younger. When not lecturing around the globe, she is happily treating her patients, cooking at home with her family, riding bikes to neighborhood restaurants or sipping wine in front of a puzzle.

“I’m fortunate to have worked side-by-side with my father and grandfather these past 40-plus years. I can still remember getting up before the sun to ride along with my grandfather to work, the smell of cigarette ash from the overflowing ashtray in his Cadillac. We’d stop for breakfast at Pancake Circus or Jim Denny’s. I must have been 7 or 8 years old. I grew up stocking shelves and organizing aisles. I went to college, got a job in the wine industry, but the “old school” world won out. This damn industry had its claws in me. My father and grandfather started the business sometime in the ’60s. We are customer service. We are Sacramento. You’ll be amazed at what we have packed into 50,000 square feet. Vintage finds for sure. Chrome wire shelving, stainless steel worktables and sinks.
